I think it’s human nature to compare our lives and situations to those of others. It can be useful if your end goal is to study what they’ve done to succeed in an area that you wish to succeed in. But comparison often ends in someone feeling like they’ll never measure up…which in turn often leads to jealousy and resentment. This is why you should never compare your journey to someone else’s.
Learn the lessons from the journeys of others. One of the wisest things you can do is to learn from the experiences of others. But one of the worst things you can do is to compare your journey to theirs. You don’t know what they had to do to get to where they are. Plus, you only know what you know. You probably only know what they want you to know. Again, this is why you should never compare. Just jearn the lessons and apply them to you own life.
